What to do next?

Microvision

I guess my next step in creating a Microvision game would be to figure out what exactly my Propeller Chip can do. There must be some other use for it. Could I write a program that makes lines or something on the TV? Would I need more stuff than what it came with (the chip and USB cord)? I guess I'm just stuck on ideas right now, and I want to explore what this thing can do before I attempt to make a game with it.

Most of the projects listed in post #2 of my index use the Propeller.

I thought that was covered pretty well in your other thread. Post #10 has a link to a schematic to connect the Prop to a TV.

In the final post of the thread, Mike Green suggests a board to purchase to make connecting a TV even easier.

Once you have a TV connected, give Graphics_Demo.spin a try (it's in the Prop Tool's Library\_Demos folder).

Once you open your mind to the possibilities of the Propeller, it will be hard to decide which of the many interesting projects you can think of, you should pursue.

Edit: Franklin beat me to it. I like his idea too.

Ah, I didn't see there was a second page there. I think I'll go get the board he was talking about and see what I can do with that.
